stands one hour daily, fifteen minutes

Indianapolis special.

e. T. Gould, of this city, Secretary Of
District Assembly 106, knights Of Labor,
recently wrote to General Master Workman
Pow6erly, urging him to reconsider his de-
termination to retire from the leadership
of the knights of Labor at the expiration
of his present term. He has just received
q response from Powderly, in which he
says that he does not see how he can con-
sistently reconsider his determination. In
speaking of the abuse by newspapers and
threats of impeachment, he says:

light made its way. and that came from fur

Hosc Often to Change tile Dress.

The question how many time day
woman of good standing ought to
change her gown is one that has been
subject to a great deal of discussion at
the various summer resorts this season.
Naturally numerous opinions have
been forthcoming. 1t is, however,
needless to say that the matter can
probably be settled by refnment and
good taste and by nothing else. Of
course every vulgar parvenu who goes
to a watering place with dozens of
trunks and hundreds of gowns, who
covers herself with jewels, and whose
sole object in life is TO make herself as
conspicuous as possible, changes her
dress certainly three and very often
four times day. A woman of this
sort knows perfectly we'll that her only
claim to distinction lies in her clothes,
and consequently she must dress or
die.
1t actually happened a few weeks
ago that very brilliant and charming
actress was dubbed "no lady" because
she wore but two gowns each day,
one in the morning and the other in
the evening. 1t would thus seem that
woman's social position in the eyes of
certain class of ignorant vulgarians
is to be determined by the extent
and exhibition OF her wardrobe, and if
this be actually the case it is compar-
atively easy task to distinguish the
newly rich from those women whose
pretensions to gentility are we'll
founded. It would be difficult to dis
cover why any lady should
think it incumbent upon her
to dress oftener at snowy, noisy
watering place than in her own home.
True refinement, on the contrary,
would point to an absence in the toilet
of all that was calculated to attract at
tention. No woman in any class Of So
cietv whatever wno understands what
is due to herself should dress more
than three times day. A morning
dress indeed should be worn until din
ner time, unless shopping, driving or
visiting entails the putting on a street
costume. In summer street gowns are
not necessary. Therefore, twice day
should the dress be changed, and no
oftener. Women who parade four or
five gowns daily at summer hotels are
generally persons who would not
be- tolerated in good society. Clara

THE PLANTERS, sLow PROFITS

Planters, whether Of tea, coffee, or
sugar, are much more dependent on
banks than are farmers. The expense
Of keeping up one of these plantations
is enormous, owing to the large amount
Of fertilizers required. Then the labor
item in comparison with that required
on farm is very considerable, and
though the gross returns from plan
tation Of either teas coffee, or sugar,
greatly exceed those from the other
tillage of the soil, the gilt is consider
ably taken off the gingerbread when
you have to pay twelve per cent. on all
advances to the bank, III addition to
two and half per cent. on "disburse-
ments" to the local firm at the seaport
who ships your product. Tie fact is
that since the general introduction OF
beet-root sugar, there is as little profit
in sugar planting as there is in tea
planting to the planter himself, the
only man who makes the money being
the middleman who handles the stuff.
